Then Why Do It?

Picture a drunk driver crashing into you

while you and family are driving

It pains you to hear one screaming

But kills you because other ones silent

Imagine coming home from work

And your sons just been gunned down

He went from innocently walking home

To being 6 feet within the ground

What if you sold someone some dope

And that someone gets high with your kid

Than turned him into a dope feign

And one day he overdoses from it

Try waking to the sound of your daughter crying

And you get up to investigate

You ask, "Baby whats going on?"

And she says that she's been raped

Exactly how would you feel?

If these crimes put your life to ruins

If you can even conjure up and answer

Then why are you the one doing it?

About the Creator

Thomas F

I was shot in the face at point blank range with a double barrel 12 gage during an strong arm robbery that quickly turned into an Attempted Murder. Although I'm missing my right eye and a bullet in my brain. I AM STILL ME & I AM STILL HERE
